1. WHO’S WHO: THE PEOPLE WORKING ON YOUR ELSEVIER BOOK

There will be several people working with you on your book at Elsevier. This page will explain what each of them does, and how to contact them.

ACQUISITIONS EDITOR OR “AE”

Your Acquisitions Editor, or “AE”, is the person responsible for your contract. They are probably the first person you discussed the book with at Elsevier, and they will have negotiated all the contract terms with you.

If you aren’t sure who your AE is, ask your EPM.

EDITORIAL PROJECT MANAGER OR “EPM”

Your Editorial Project Manager, or “EPM”, is your main contact at Elsevier while your book is being written. They are responsible for chasing your drafts, organising your cover, updating the submission site, and the day-to-day management of your book.

If you have a question and aren’t sure who to ask, email them! - they can put you in touch with the right person.

COPYRIGHTS COORDINATOR

Your Copyrights Coordinator, or “CC”, is an expert on Permissions and Rights. They can help with any queries regarding permissions and rights. You should also return your Permissions Log to them.

If you aren’t sure who your CC is, ask your EPM.

RIGHTS ASSOCIATE

Your Rights Associate, or “RA”, is responsible for sending out contractual documents including Contributor Agreements. They will be in touch to ask you to complete any contractual documents necessary to allow publication of your work.

If you aren’t sure who your CC is, ask your EPM.

PAYMENTS INFORMATION MANAGER (PIM)

Your Payments Information Manager (PIM), is responsible for setting up, and sending out, your payments. This may include royalties, as well as honorariums.

If you aren’t sure who your PIM is, ask your EPM.

PRODUCTION MANAGER (PM)

Your Production Manager, or PM, is responsible for making your manuscript into a physical book. Your EPM will introduce them to you once your book is in production. They will need feedback on proofs and other elements in order to complete your book.

If you aren’t sure who your PM is, ask your EPM.

2. THE BASICS OF FORMATTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT This section outlines the most important aspects for laying out your manuscript. For more detail, please see the later sections. As always, if you are still uncertain after reading these guidelines, please contact your EPM, who will be happy to help.

SOFTWARE: WORD OR LATEX?

You may use either Microsoft Word or LaTeX to write your manuscript.

• Standard manuscripts should be written in Microsoft Word. • LaTeX should be used for manuscripts which are equation-intensive. • For LaTeX manuscripts, please email your EPM to request a copy of our LaTeX Template and instruction before

you start work. • When submitting LaTeX manuscripts, you must submit a PDF copy of the manuscript alongside your zipped

folder of source files. Both Editorial and Production will use this to run important checks and to ensure the book is laid out correctly.

If you wish to use any other software, please consult your editor at Elsevier before starting work. There are other resources here: https://vtex-soft.github.io/texsupport.elsevier-book/ you can use in order to create and compile the latex files for submission. Please remember to submit a PDF with the final files.

YOUR MANUSCRIPT FILES AND FIGURES

Please save each element (Preface, Chapter, Appendix, etc.) as a separate file.

• Save files using a logical, sequential file name, e.g. Ch01.doc. • Do not use spaces or special characters (e.g. #?!%) in file names.

Figures should be provided as separate files, not embedded in the manuscript. This is to ensure the quality is preserved in print.

• Save each figure as a separate file with the chapter and figure number, e.g. “Fig.1.2.tif” would indicate Figure 2, in Chapter 1.

• Figures should be uploaded to the “Figures” tab on the EMSS chapter page. • Indicate the appropriate position for figures, tables, computer code, etc., by inserting a phrase into the MS at the

correct point, e.g. ‘FIGURE 2.1 HERE’. • Only provide 1 example of each figure; two copies of a single figure can create confusion and delay at production

stage. • You must obtain permissions for any 3rd-party figures used; please see References and Permissions for more

information. Equations, tables, and/or text boxes should be embedded in the text, not uploaded as separate files in EMSS.

• Equations should be generated using MathType or MathML and imported individually into your text. If you wish to use any other software, please consult your EPM before starting work.

• Tables should be numbered within the text using the same format as figures, i.e. Table 1.1, 1.2, etc. • Text boxes can be used to highlight key information. These should also be numbered sequentially, e.g. Box 1.1,

1.2 etc. and kept within the manuscript (do not submit in image formats). • The start and the end of text boxes should also be noted to allow for easier typesetting.

SPELLING

Page 4: Elsevier S&T Books Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

4

Be consistent with spelling.

• US English is preferred but UK English is also acceptable.

• Please tell your EPM if you are unable to provide your manuscript in either US or UK English.

HEADINGS

Do not attempt to style your manuscript to make it look like a final typeset, printed book. • Please do use consistent formatting (e.g. bold, font size) across the manuscript to indicate different heading

levels, e.g.

First level heading Second level heading

Third level heading

Please see the Chapter Template for an example of how to lay out your manuscript so that it is ready for typesetting.

REFERENCES AND PERMISSIONS

You must reference any published work which you have referred to, used as a source, or directly quoted from. We are not able to publish a book without accurate references, and failure to include them will result in your manuscript being returned for editing.

• List your references at the end of each chapter. Any references not directly cited in the text of the chapter will be collated by our copyeditors, and printed at the end of the book, in a list entitled “Further Reading”.

• You should use one of Elsevier’s 9 Standard Reference Styles. A guide to each of these is included in this document. Please refer to your editor or Elsevier contact (if applicable) to find out which one of these to use.

• You should use the same reference style throughout the book. • You must include all publication information for your sources; please see References for details of the

information which must be included. • Avoid the use of cross-references and footnotes. • For further information on Permissions, please refer to that section in this document.

3. TEXT FORMATTING AND COPYEDITING GUIDELINES

The subsequent guidelines will be followed by the copyeditor working on your project to ensure global consistency within Elsevier products. If you have strong objections to any of the listed points, please notify your Elsevier contact upon receipt of this document to discuss any deviations for your project.

Please follow these guidelines for formatting your work as far as you can, to minimise rework at production stage.

In this guide information is provided under the following six key headings:

1. Headings 2. Names and Affiliations 3. Spelling and Capitalisation 4. Punctuation 5. Abbreviations 6. Units of measurement and time

NOTE ON RACISM AND SEXISM

Please be aware of the possible effects of any racist or sexist language in your text and modify it.

Do not make generalizations on the grounds of race, nationality or sex. Use ‘he or she’ in full rather than ‘s/he’ or ‘she/he’ (the same applies for ‘him or her’). Repeated use of ‘he or she’ can be cumbersome so try to rework the text to avoid this, e.g. the sentence can usually be reworked using a person’s name or job title (e.g. ‘the doctor’, ‘the user’) or using the plural (‘they’ ‘them’ etc.). It is not acceptable to use ‘he’ throughout the text with a disclaimer in the prelims stating that for ‘he’ read ‘he/she’.

Job titles are frequently discriminatory. The suffixes ‘ette’ and ‘ess’ are often unnecessary, e.g. use ‘manager’ rather than ‘manageress’. Alternatively, a different term can be used, e.g. ‘flight attendant’ rather than ‘air hostess’.

1. HEADINGS

Do not attempt to style your manuscript to make it look like a final typeset, printed book.

• Please do use consistent formatting (e.g. bold, font size) across the manuscript to indicate different heading levels, e.g.

First level heading Second level heading

Third level heading

Use of italic or bold for emphasis within the text is discouraged. Italic may be used to introduce new terms, but such use should be kept to a minimum. In all instances, observe the conventions of Latin binomials (italics, initial capital for genus, lowercase italics for species). Use italic for foreign phrases but not those that have become familiar through constant use (e.g., “in situ,” “via,” “in vitro”).

Please see the Chapter Template for an example of how to lay out your manuscript so that it is ready for typesetting.

2. NAMES AND AFFILIATIONS

Names and affiliations should appear in English and in the following form:

• Name, as provided by the author (should initials be present they should be followed by periods with no space between multiple initials), including all contributors involved in the chapter.

• Department/division names (if supplied). • Institution/organization, city, state/province/territory (for United States/Canada two-letter postal service

format, Australia three-letter format), and country (written out in full).

Page 6: Elsevier S&T Books Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

6

For Health Science titles, qualifications and academic position/role, should be included in the order supplied by the author.

3. SPELLING AND CAPITALISATION

If you are unable to deliver your manuscript in the UK/US spelling convention specified, please make your Elsevier contact aware.

Capitalization should be kept to a minimum.

• Use initial capitals for specific features in the book itself (e.g., “Fig. 1.1,” “Table 4-1,” “Chapter 3”). “Figure,” “Chapter,” “Box,” “Plate” and “Table” should begin with a capital letter only if they appear with a number.

• Proprietary drug names begin with a capital letter (e.g., Aldomet, Marcain, Ventolin), as do registered trade names (e.g., Formica, Perspex, Teflon). However, a generic drug name (e.g., paracetamol) is lowercase. Present the generic name first, followed by the proprietary name in parentheses, for example “diazepam (Valium)”.

• Do not use register marks or trademarks (i.e., ™ and ®) unless a MATLAB or NCLEX title. Using the proper spelling and capitalization of the name of the product is sufficient for publications that are not advertising or sales materials.

Grammar usage should be consistent.

• Use plurals correctly and consistently. Although the trend is toward English plurals, some words have only a Latin plural or the Latin plural is preferred (e.g., “vertebra”/“vertebrae”). Consider these variations and advise your Elsevier contact of your preference.

• Some words have both “-ic” and “-ical” endings, depending on their meaning. Please state whether you have a preference.

• The term “patient” is preferred over “client” in most instances. If your preferred terminology is different for example in social-work texts, please advise your Elsevier contact.

• Eponyms (possessive or plain) are variable depending on the field of study and author preference. For medical material, do not use possessive eponyms.

References: please see further detail here.

• Ensure that all Hyperlinks are active. • Footnotes and endnotes are discouraged within body text. If the presence of footnotes or endnotes within the

chapter is unavoidable, please flag this with your Elsevier contact. • When Cross-references appear within the text of a chapter, it is recommended they are structured to specific

content using a chapter number and the nearest main heading (e.g., “see Chapter 1, Climate Variability”) rather than referencing a page number.

• Use superscript, lowercase, roman letters (a,b,c) to indicate references to footnotes in a table body. • Uncited references present in Science and Technology reference lists but not cited within the text will be

moved to a separate section entitled Further Reading.

4. PUNCTUATION

In general, punctuation will be corrected by our copyediting team in Production.

Do not use commas in 4-digit numbers except when needed for alignment in tables.

Do not use a comma between a figure number and part letter when referring to figures in the text (e.g., “In Fig. 4.4B”).

• Use “Fig.” referring to “Figure” followed by a figure number and “Eq.” referring to “Equation” followed by an equation number, even at the beginning of sentences. Use “Figs.” and “Eqs.” for reference to multiple figures/equations unless you are using UK English where a period should not be used after a contraction.

US style uses “double” quotation marks, with periods and commas inside quotation marks and other punctuation placed outside, unless they are part of the text being quoted, and ‘single’ marks for quotes within quotes. UK and Australian styles use ‘single’ quotation marks, with closing punctuation outside marks (unless it belongs to the quoted material) and “double” marks for quotes within quotes.

Page 7: Elsevier S&T Books Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

5. ABBREVIATIONS

Where possible please supply a list of abbreviations to ensure consistency throughout the work.

• Use “Fig.” referring to “Figure” followed by a figure number and “Eq.” referring to “Equation” followed by an equation number, even at the beginning of sentences. Use “Figs.” and “Eqs.” for reference to multiple figures/equations unless you are using UK English where a period should not be used after a contraction.

• Avoid abbreviations in headings. • Abbreviations and acronyms should be capitals and closed up, with no periods (e.g., WHO, BBC, UNESCO,

NMR, UV, IR, ESR, CAT, AIDS, DNA, RNA). A few abbreviations contain all lowercase letters (e.g., “tid”) or a mixture of capitals and lowercase letters (e.g., BSc, PhD).

• The following are exceptions to no periods in abbreviations/acronyms: o Initials of a person or company used in text (e.g., R.R. Donnelly, R.D. Laing). o p. and pp. (in text), although page numbers are discouraged. o Abbreviations of a genus and species (H. influenzae).

• If a term is plural, use the plural version of the abbreviation (e.g., “WBCs” for white blood cells [nb, no apostrophe]).

6. UNITS AND MEASUREMENTS OF TIME

Units:

• Spell percent as one word (“percent” not “per cent”). Use of the percent symbol (%) is preferred after Arabic numerals in scientific writing. Percentage ranges should always use % after both numbers in the range e.g., 10%–15%, 10% to 15%.

• In technical and scientific writing, only numbers below 10 should be spelled out, and then only if they are not units of measure or time. Usages such as “24/7,” “365 days/year,” “12h/day,” “12 hours a day,” “24 hours a day,” or “365 days a year” are all acceptable as long as they are used consistently.

• Use the degree sign (“°”) for temperature and the word “degree” for angle measurements. • Ranges of dosages should be represented as “a dosage of 2–5 mg.” • Simple fractions are hyphenated: “two-thirds,” “one-quarter,” “one-fourth.” • Use numerals, not words, to express ages, percentages, temperatures, addresses, dates, units of measure,

times, sums of money, and page numbers, except when a number begins a sentence. If a number must be written out, so should the unit of measure that follows (e.g., “Five milligrams”).

• Decimal points should be on the line. Decimals below one should always carry a zero before the decimal point, except in contexts where decimal quantities must be 1.00 or less, as in probabilities, correlation coefficients, and so forth, in which a zero is typically omitted before the decimal point (e.g., “P < .5”).

• You may use any system of measurement, although SI units of measure are preferred, as long as the unit of measure is used consistently.

• There is no space in 25%, 45°C or 30°N. • The solidus (i.e., “/”) replacing “per” should be used only once in any expression (e.g., “mg/kg per day”). • Unit of volume: use uppercase “L” for liter (i.e., “L,” “mL”). • Do not shorten numerals in a range of values: “25–29 mg,” not “25–9 mg.” • If your material contains equations, make sure you have completed the “Equations Style Sheet Checklist” and

given a copy to your Elsevier contact.

Measurements of Time:

• If abbreviating “seconds,” “minutes,” and “hours” in the main text, use the following standard abbreviations: “s” for seconds, “min” for minutes and “h” for hours.

• Dates should be contracted (e.g., “1978–79,” not “1978–1979”) unless over the end of a century (e.g., “1978–2003”). An en dash should be used for date ranges. “BCE” (before common era) follows the date and “CE” (common era) precedes it, thus “850 BCE” but “CE 1989.” Should you wish to retain the use of “BC” (before Christ) and “AD” (anno domini) please advise your Elsevier contact. Avoid vague phrases that may date the book (e.g., “in the past decade,” “will soon be introduced”). It is better to replace these with specific dates.

Avoid quoting specific prices of goods and services; if these must be included, indicate the year for which these are valid.

4. ARTWORK AND TABLE GUIDELINES

You may wish to include tables, photographs, graphs or other figures in your manuscript. This section will explain the requirements for those figures, how to format and submit the figures with your manuscript, and which figures require permissions.

FIGURE REQUIREMENTS

Figures, especially images, must be submitted with sufficient quality to be printed and appear professional in the finished book. Please check all figures before submitting to ensure they meet these standards, and contact your EPM if you are unsure.

• Acceptable file types for artwork include .eps, .jpg, and .tif. We cannot accept wb3, .3d, .rtf, .csv or .docm formats.

• Photographs and Halftones should be supplied with at least 300 dpi resolution.

• Line drawings should be supplied with 600 dpi.

• Screenshots must be at least 72 dpi.

• To check the dpi of your image (Office), open your “Pictures” gallery, right-click the file you wish to check, and select “Properties”. Select the tab labelled “Details”; the list will include “Horizontal resolution” and “Vertical resolution”, measured in dpi.

Unless agreed otherwise with your editor, figures will appear in black and white in the printed book, and (where applicable) in colour in the online version (ebook). Please ensure that all figures are suitable for the reader to understand in black and white.

Please only provide 1 example of each figure; two copies of a single figure can create confusion and delay at production stage.

FIGURE FORMATTING

Figures should be provided as separate files, not embedded in the manuscript. This is to ensure the quality is preserved in print.

• Number and refer to each figure sequentially, e.g. the fifth figure in chapter four would be Figure 4.5. Consider any type of photograph, line drawing or small ‘in-text’ image a figure and number accordingly.

• Figures should be uploaded to the “Figures” tab on the EMSS chapter page.

• Indicate clearly the appropriate position for content provided separately, e.g. figures, tables, computer code, etc., by inserting a phrase into the MS at the correct point, e.g. ‘FIGURE 2.1 HERE’.

• Identify figures within the text by figure number e.g. “as you can see in Figure 7.9” instead of “in the next figure” or “as you can see above”. Please ensure all Figures and Tables are mentioned in your manuscript.Please ensure that if you have figure parts - for example (a), (b) and (c) - they are also referred to and explained in the caption.

• If your book is a new edition, e.g. 2nd edition, and you are reusing any figures, you need to include the old figure number as well as the new. This allows the production team to identify them from the old edition files and ensures they place the correct figure in the correct place. The note in the manuscript would therefore read, e.g., “[Fig. 1.25 (old Fig. 1.23) Rolling element bearings].”

• Please confirm the spelling convention to be used in the book with your EPM before submitting your figures to ensure consistency.

Tables should be embedded in the text, not uploaded as separate files in EMSS.

• Tables should be numbered within the text using the same format as figures, i.e. Table 1.1, 1.2, etc.

Page 9: Elsevier S&T Books Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

FIGURE PERMISSIONS

It is best to use original figures, tables and photographs if possible. If a figure, photograph or table has been taken or drawn by someone else, or published anywhere else, you will need to seek permission for its use. Please see the Permissions section for further information on obtaining permission. You can also contact your Copyrights Coordinator if you are unsure whether a figure requires permissions, or of the process to gain permissions.

If figures need to be redrawn from drafts or examples, please get in touch with your EPM who will be able to provide further guidance.

5. ABSTRACTS AND KEYWORDS

As an author, editor, or contributor, you are required to prepare a short abstract and key word list for each chapter in your book, to be delivered along with each completed chapter.

1. WHY ARE ABSTRACTS AND KEYWORD LISTS REQUIRED?

• Abstracts and keywords help to classify and identify the content of your book, helping readers to find content more effectively, and assisting in the sales of your book.

• They are used to direct readers online to chapters and content of relevance to them. • They enable and improve the discovery of content through online searches. • They assist with the grouping of the content of your book with that from other Elsevier titles, which helps our

marketing and sales teams to target the needs of specific customers or sectors.

2. DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS

Abstracts and key word lists should be delivered with the other manuscript materials for your project.

• For an example of how they should be formatted within the manuscript, please consult the Chapter Template.

3. TIMING

It is important that your abstracts and keyword lists are delivered at the same time as the rest of your manuscript materials, so they can be worked on by Elsevier’s Production Department alongside the rest of your book.

4. GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING A CHAPTER ABSTRACT

A chapter abstract is a concise and factual summary of the content of each chapter within the book.

• Please Note: you should also prepare an abstract for appendices if they contain substantive text, data, or content that can be abstracted or summarized.

The suggested length for each chapter abstract is 100-150 words.

• It should provide a brief review of the main content and theme of the chapter. • Do not refer to any topics or material is not included in the chapter being abstracted. • Avoid non-standard language, terms and abbreviations if possible, and always define abbreviations at their first

mention in the abstract itself. Include the abstract in your manuscript at the start of each chapter, under the heading ‘Non-print items’ (see Chapter Template). This heading is used to indicate to the typesetter that the abstract is not to be included in the printed edition of your work.

5. GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING A CHAPTER KEYWORD LIST

A keyword is any significant word or phrase used to describe the contents of a chapter, or a significant or descriptive word or phrase used as a reference point for finding information on the topic of the chapter.

• Provide 5—10 keywords for each chapter. • Use American spelling. • Avoid general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, “and”, “of”). • Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field are eligible. • Provide the list of keywords in your manuscript, immediately below the abstract (see Chapter Template). • If you have any queries on the writing of abstracts or keywords please contact Elsevier.

6. ADDITIONAL DELIVERABLES

The following additional text elements may be appropriate or desirable for provision with your manuscript.

Any that are included should be submitted alongside the final manuscript.

• Dedication and/or Acknowledgements • *Foreword Usually written by a prominent outside authority to place the book in the context of its field • *Preface or Introduction To provide an overview of the book, its organization and unique appeal • Glossary or Nomenclature list To list technical words, abbreviations or equations used in the book • Appendices Supporting material or material for inclusion that is beyond the scope of the main text • Ancillary or website content If previously agreed with your editor or included in your contract, ancillary or

website content to accompany your book should be provided with your final manuscript • *List of Authors with affiliation details for each author

*For Editor’s attention only

7. PERMISSIONS

As an Elsevier book author, you are required contractually to represent and warrant that your work is original and previously unpublished except for third-party material for which you have obtained appropriate permission. You further must indemnify Elsevier if it turns out that these representations and warranties have been breached (e.g. if you haven’t obtained proper permission or have infringed or plagiarized a third-party rightsholder). Therefore, it is extremely important to identify correctly any and all third-party material which requires permission. We recommend you use original, unpublished artwork, tables and other content in your manuscript whenever possible. If you choose to reproduce previously published material, written permission must be obtained from the rightsholder for re-use in both print and electronic formats. This includes any published work which you have referred to, used as a source, or directly quoted from – even if you were the author of the work, and even if it was published by Elsevier previously. We are not able to publish a book without permissions and references, and failure to include them will result in your manuscript being returned for editing. Any work for which you required permissions must also be referenced in your work, including all relevant publication information; please see References for details of the information which must be included.

Permissions must be obtained by the author of the chapter. Unless otherwise stated in your contract, it is your responsibility as the author to obtain permission to use any third-party material, and to pay any associated permission fees. You will be contacted by your title’s Copyright Coordinator, who will provide you with a Permissions Log and an FAQ for the permissions process. You will need to complete this permission log documenting all material (both third-party and original) appearing in your contribution and provide the completed log and copies of all permission grant letters to the permissions coordinator along with your manuscript.

WHAT MATERIALS REQUIRE PERMISSIONS?

When you submit your manuscript, you must also include signed permission forms from the copyright holder (usually the publisher) for all borrowed material.

COMMON MATERIAL REQUIRING PERMISSION

• Photographs (unless, of course you actually took the photo yourself), line illustrations or other artwork (whether or not modified from the original source), quotes in excess of 300 words from a book-length source (or 150 words from a journal or 50 words from a newspaper).

• Some tables and charts may also require permission, if they are creative—that is more than simple collections of facts. Factual, non-creative tables and charts, such as lists of commonly used drugs, or survival rates for a certain surgical procedure, do not require permission. However, as with all borrowed materials, please be sure to include a credit line to the source. If you have any questions about whether a table requires permission, please contact your Copyrights Coordinator. If you have not requested permission for a table or chart because you believe that it does not require permission, please be sure to include a note to this effect in your manuscript so we know you haven’t simply overlooked it. Tables, citing only a single source, will need permission if the table is laid out in a substantially similar way to the graphical presentation of the same table. If there are two or more sources for data within a table, then these sources should be acknowledged.

• Any material borrowed from a source that should be credited in a courtesy line, unless the source is an individual, rather than an institution or another publisher.

MATERIAL IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN

• Some materials may be in the public domain, and thus do not require permission. In general, public domain materials fall into two categories: publications of the United States Government, and works whose copyright terms have expired (essentially everything published more than 75 years ago). Materials found on the Internet are NOT automatically in the public domain.

Elsevier is part of a consortium of STM publishers who facilitate many routine permission requests among the group’s publisher signatories. For more information about the STM Permissions Guidelines, please visit http://www.stm-assoc.org/copyright-legal-affairs/permissions/permissions-guidelines/ .

NEW EDITIONS OF A PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED BOOK

If your manuscript is a revision of a previous edition, you must request permission again for any borrowed material, unless you have on file a permission letter granting unrestricted permission for use in all editions. Most publishers restrict permission to one edition (“one time use only”). Regrettably you may need to re-obtain permission for anything you are reusing, in order to adequately cover this and future editions and the terms of use for print and electronic media, etc.

CREDIT LINES

Please include the following in your credit line for each borrowed piece:

Page 15: Elsevier S&T Books Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

15

Journal article: Article author(s), article title, name of journal, volume number, issue number, page number where item appears, year of publication

Book: Chapter author(s), chapter title, book editor(s), book title, page number where borrowed item appears, city of publication, publisher, year

A full citation must be provided for any material borrowed from any publication. A photocopy of the borrowed material must also be included for reference.

Data sources and credit lines should appear with the figure/table caption to which they refer. A credit line is always preceded by “Reproduced with permission from,” “Modified from,” “Data from,” “From,” “Based on,” or “Courtesy” (not “Courtesy of”) and may be followed by the page number.

For details on how to format these credit lines, please see References.

PERMISSION REQUEST FORMS

If you wish to re-use figures, tables, or other third-party material previously published in a book, journal, website, or other product, you must obtain written permission from the rightsholder (often but not always the copyright holder) of the material.

Permission should be obtained for “this and all subsequent editions, revisions, versions, derivative works, translations, ancillaries, adaptations, supplementary materials, and custom editions, in all languages, in all formats and media now known or hereafter developed, throughout the world and in perpetuity.”

If permission is not granted, or if permission is granted with unreasonable restrictions, the material cannot be used.

As the permission-seeking process can be lengthy, please allow a minimum of six to eight weeks, if not longer, to obtain permission for all items.

• When seeking permission from other publishers, please complete our standard permission request form available at https://www.elsevier.com/__data/assets/word_doc/0007/98656/Permission-Request-Form.docx and send it to the rightsholder where this is an option (i.e. where the rightsholder does not require you to apply for permission via Rightslink or an online permission request form).

• Many publishers use Rightslink, the Copyright Clearance Center’s automated permission-granting service, to process permission requests. Rightslink is located on the individual journal article or book chapter page on the relevant publisher’s website, typically via a link labeled “Get rights and content” or “Get permission” or similar wording. If that option is not available, you will need to contact the publisher or other rightsholder directly for permission. To do so, please complete our standard permission request form and email it to the rightsholder. Publishers may also have a permission request form you can complete on the publisher’s website.

• When the signed permission forms are returned to you, make a copy for your files and send the original to your editor along with your manuscript.

• If there are any fees associated with the permission request, the rightsholder will let you know at that time. Since you or Elsevier are contractually responsible for permissions fees, they must be paid before the image can be used. Please check the contract to determine if you are responsible for the fees. Once the rightsholder has completed and returned the form to you, please send it to your Copyrights Coordinator for filing. If you have any questions, please contact your Editorial Project Manager.

PERMISSIONS LOG

You are contractually obliged to complete and return the attached Excel permissions log. • Use this log to record all third-party items that appear in your chapter(s), whether or not they require permission

(i.e. please include any public domain images, Creative Commons images, or other images that are not original to your chapter but do not require written permission for additional reasons), and to track permission grants for those items that require permission as you obtain them from the various rightsholders.

Please return your Permissions Log to your Copyrights Coordinator before your final submission date.

CONCERNS OR DIFFICULTIES

Please contact your EPM or Copyrights Coordinator as soon as possible.

Your Copyrights Coordinator is a specialist in permissions who will be able to answer any questions and help you to obtain permissions on time. If you are not sure whether material require permissions, or of the process to get them, please contact them.

If you are unsure who your Copyrights Coordinator is, please ask your EPM to introduce you.

• For more information about permissions, please visit our full Permission Seeking FAQ at https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/copyright/permissions.

• For more information about Elsevier’s patient consent policy, please visit https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/patient-consent

• Additional questions about obtaining permission? Contact Elsevier’s Permissions Helpdesk at https://service.elsevier.com/app/contact/supporthub/permissions-helpdesk/ , or by emailing [email protected] or calling +1-800-523-4069 x 3808.

Unresolved permissions cause delay in the release of your manuscript for editing, production, and publication and will ultimately delay publishing—even if only one permission is missing. Please help us publish on time by requesting all permissions before submitting your manuscript.

Thank you for your cooperation.

8. REFERENCES: ELSEVIER’S 9 STANDARD REFERENCE STYLES The automatic conversion of authors’ unstructured references into consistent and correct XML references has been perfected by suppliers over the past decade. However, achieving this result, particularly in regard to punctuation, requires detailed programming. If a standard reference style is not adopted for a book and an unstructured (non- Elsevier standard) style is used, this would require new extensive programming for each new title. This approach proves inefficient, expensive and time consuming, therefore a fixed number of standard styles have been chosen for use in all of our books which are XML-rendered.

The following Elsevier standard reference styles are available:

1. Numbered Style – Numbered 2. Harvard Style – Name–date 3. Vancouver Style – Numbered 4. Embellished Vancouver Style – Numbered 5. APA style – Name–date 6. AMA Style – Numbered 7. Standard Saunders Style – Name–date 8. Numbered Saunders Style – Numbered 9. ACS – Numbered

9a. ACS – Superscript numbered 9b. ACS – Name-date

Further detail on each of these styles can be found below; please click each style to skip directly to a summary of Elsevier’s standard for that style. Note: These standard reference styles are versions developed for Elsevier’s needs, and may differ from the official version. Some of these styles are based on accepted international standards, such as Vancouver and APA (American Psychological Association) styles; others are based on traditional styles that have been in use for many years within specific disciplines.

1. NUMBERED STYLE

In-text citations Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s) must always be given.

Example: “..... as demonstrated [3, 6]. Barnaby and Jones [8] obtained a different result ....”

Reference list Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the order in which they appear in the text.

[1] A. Paivio, B. Jansen, L.J. Becker, Comparisons through the mind’s eye, Cognition 37 (2) (1975) 635–647.

References/citations in the text

Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as “in press” implies that the item has been accepted for publication.

Citing and listing web references

As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.

10. OVERVIEW OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS

When your manuscript is ready to enter the production process, it is assessed by a production manager. The production manager is responsible for seeing your book safely through the production process (copyediting, typesetting, proofreading, indexing and manufacturing) and they will be an important point of contact from delivery of your manuscript until publication. The proofs of your project should be sent to you approximately 8-9 weeks after handover of the final manuscript.

The production manager will analyze the files for any missing figures, tables, references, etc., and will flag these for your attention. Below is a breakdown of the different steps involved in your manuscript’s production.

Copy-editing

Your book will be copy-edited electronically, to the appropriate level and US/UK English style. Our copy-editors are validated and chosen for their reliability, expertise and subject specialty.

Typesetting

After copy-editing is completed the typesetter will style and produce page proofs, for print and online formats. The project manager will liaise closely with the typesetter, and provide the author with a firm expected date for page proofs by email.

The layout template used will be one of our standard designs or will be custom designed by our team of designers. Artwork may be redrawn at this stage if required. Elsevier has a select number of specialist typesetters, all of whom are validated and closely monitored.

Proof Central

Our method for delivering proofs to you. You will receive a link to Proof Central where you will be able to edit the PDF version of your proof.

Proofreading

As soon as the book has been typeset, page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author through Proof Central. This usually happens approximately 7-8 weeks after we receive the completed manuscript; this is dependent on the number of contributors and completion of the manuscript. At the same time, the page proofs are sent to a professional proofreader for checking.

Accurate proofreading and clear marking of corrections are essential for the production of a quality title. Please note that careful checking is your responsibility but a professional proofreader will also be checking the proofs. Please mark any necessary corrections to the actual PDF in a distinct manner by annotating the PDF file of the proof using Acrobat’s commenting tool (you will need Acrobat Reader 7 or upwards to be able to use the commenting tool).

Indexing

At the same time as the author and proofreader receive their proofs for checking, the indexing process will begin. This will be carried out by subject-expertise indexers who will read the entire text (entries are selected manually, rather than being produced automatically by indexing software). Once the index entries are compiled, the document will be sent to the author for checking. Indexing is automatically done to a medium standard. If you require your indexing to be at a higher level, please let your editorial contact know.

Manufacturing

Elsevier has expert printing suppliers across the globe. The final print files will be sent to a pre-designated printer, and copies distributed as organized by the Production Manager. Author / contributor print and electronic complimentary copies will also be distributed upon publication (print copies will take approximately five weeks to arrive). The title will also be published on Elsevier’s online portal, ScienceDirect, and will be made available for various online formats.

2. GO TO YOUR PROJECT

Choose your project from the dropdown menu (if you only have one project with us, you will only see one project in the dropdown).

3. CHECK YOUR TO-DO LIST

Any chapters that are currently assigned to you and require your attention (need to be written or returned with queries from the editor) will be in your to-do list. You can also see the status of other chapters that are assigned to you in the “All Other Chapters Assigned to Me” tab.

4. UPLOAD YOUR MANUSCRIPT

Once you’ve clicked on your Chapter from your Home page, you will be brought to the Manuscript page where you can upload the manuscript and figures, download other versions of the manuscript, write and read Notes to and from the Editor, and pass the manuscript on to the Editor. You will:

• Upload your chapter by clicking on Manuscript tab. • Upload figures by clicking on the Figures tab where you can arrange them in sequential order. • Enter abstract and key words in the word document below the chapter title and affiliations of your contributors.

Refer to Chapter Template for a structure guide. • Once you are done, send your chapter to the editor by choosing “Editor” in the dropdown menu in the Actions

section of the page and then click on “Select and Save” or you can just “Submit to Editor.”

5. RECEIVE E-MAILS AND CHECK STATUS

• EMSS will email you when something has been moved to your To-Do list, but you can also continue to check the site to see the status of your chapters and write notes to your editor.

• Now there is no need to worry that e-mails didn’t get to the intended recipient, or keep track of when you sent which files. EMSS will archive all previous versions of the manuscript, and keep track of all Notes and correspondence.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Once you’ve moved your chapter to the next step, you will be unable to work with it. If your editor has told you it needs to be edited, but you can’t access it, please check with your editor to make sure they have moved it back to your step in the workflow. If that still doesn’t work, contact your EPM.
